Our Aims and Commitments

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

Given the nature of CAP Orientation's activities and their respect for environment and sustainable development, the company undertakes to protect the environment and makes the following commitments :

1. Map making is about surveying the area and drafting the map, with no modifications made to the terrain.

2. Posts, markers and panels are :

made of varnished sold oak, which is very resistant, meaning that the equipment will last for a long time and perfectly blend into the natural environment. The surface is treated is not only to protect the wood, but also for aesthetic reasons. Solid oak does not need treating with dangerous or toxic chemicals.

made of recycled or recyclable plastic: made from milk containers recycled in France.

Posts and markers are located at reasonable distances from one another in order not to spoil the natural environment. Routes are designed to respect nature zones and reserves.

3. During specific activities, participants answer questions using information provided by the existing heritage sites themselves: for example, a date carved in stone, specific details of a house, etc. They must use either maps made from synthetic materials such as PREAC (polyester film fixed by intense heat) which can be used on numerous occasions, or touch screen tablets. Drinks are served in recyclable containers: for example cardboard goblets.

4. In 2011, CAP Orientation signed the Charter of the County Tourism Council (Charte du Comité Départemental du Tourisme) «For sustainable tourism in the Marne», and in 2013 obtained the Vignobles & Découvertes label (vineyards and discovery).

5. When travelling, CAP Orientation staff use public transport or car sharing as much as possible.
